In the deep winter of Kangxi's twentieth year, many affairs came together. Xuan Ye lavishly rewarded the army of the Ping Domain who returned from defeat, the most staggering of which was that the Han army flag Dubo Bo Wen Bingju clan was carried into the Manchu army flag with yellow flags, and secondly, some Han generals with outstanding military achievements were also gifted like Han army flags, so it was not a big deal for the Ussuri clan to carry the flag into the Zhenglan flag at the end of the five banners because of the vanguard officer Acton.

What's more, although the flag was raised, the official position given to Acton by Xuan Ye was not very high, he was just a lieutenant of the infantry army of the fifth grade, but it was Alin - he was really surprised that Su Lian was admitted to the martial arts! Although the ranking is relatively low, Su Lian was worried for a while, didn't he cheat?

However, it is a good thing to be admitted, because although Wuju is not as good as Wenju, but he is also qualified to be an official, Alin made silver, made a guard for the defense of the city gate, and mixed a nine-grade petty official, and then it didn't take long for him to catch up with the shortage of guards in the palace, so he made another pass and entered the Forbidden City as a guard, although the grade has not changed, but the status is obviously different from a guard who watches the city gate.

It's just that Su Lian is a little worried, will there be any problems with him making silver all the way?

Xiao Lingzi said, "Hey, what is this? As an official, who is not allowed to spend money up and down? Some people want to dot and don't have a place to dot yet! The slave has heard that the deputy commander in charge of the selection of the guards is the cousin of Nala Fujin, which is obviously intended to take care of Second Master Lin! Otherwise, how could it be done with 1,800 taels of silver? It can be seen that someone has ordered it in the morning, and the idea of silver is just meaning! ”

Su Curtain smacked his tongue secretly, a thousand taels of silver just mean something, if it is real, I don't know how much snowflake silver it will cost! It's just an ordinary guard, not a royal guard, so he has to do this! This bribery has been a common thing for thousands of years, and in the eyes of others, it is no longer surprising!

"Hurry up and tell me. Don't send money to the palace this year, come by yourself first. Su Curtain said, since the twenty hectares of fertile land were sent back to Ussuri's house, Alin has sent silver in every year. There are no less than one or two thousand taels, and the Su curtain is also collected. In fact, she is not short of silver envoys, every year Xuan Ye asks the manufacturing office to give her exquisite bills to reward people, and the silver tickets Su curtain sent by Alin have been put away and have not been used, in order to give them in case there is any shortage in the family.

didn't think about it, as soon as he entered Layue, Su Lian saw his younger brother Alin, who he hadn't seen for many years, he was already wearing a six-grade supplement uniform, a red top with a bird's tail feathers. With a heroic and tall appearance, Zhang Qianlu came up with a smile and said, "Niangniang, Lan Ling's guard Ussuri Alin has come to ask for peace by order!" ”

At that time, Su Lian was standing under the apricot and plum tree in the small garden in the front yard outside the hall, folding the apricot and plum that had been budding in his hand and teasing the little monkey. A world of silver. The blue sky is like washing, the sun is gilded, and this world seems to be like a dream.

Alin is already sixteen years old, a sixteen-year-old boy, his face is still a little immature four years ago, but his eyebrows and eyes have been stretched out, and he is more than seven feet tall. Before Su Lian came back to his senses, Alin rushed forward in a few big steps, and Zhang Qianyan was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped: "You can't bump into Niangniang and Brother!" ”

Arling paused, but knelt on the shallow snow, and called out with tears in his eyes: "Sister-"

The sound of "Sister" made Su Lai's eyes moisten suddenly. Vaguely the naughty brother in her memory, she quickly wiped her tears and choked up: "Hurry up, it's cold on the ground!" ”

The little monkey blinked suspiciously, tilting his face up. Pulled the wide sleeves of the golden plum blossoms wrapped around the Su curtain, and asked in a tender and soft voice: "Eniang, who is he?" ”

Su Lian bent down and touched his son's little face that was a little chilly, and said, "This is your little uncle!" ”

"Uncle?" The little monkey bit his fingers, full of doubts.

Su Lian smiled: "The little uncle is Eniang's younger brother." ”

"Brother??" As soon as the little monkey heard these two words, his dark eyes were full of light, and without saying a word, he sent the fat hand that pulled the sleeve of the Su curtain, spread his short legs, and rushed over with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and the two broken fat arms saved Alin's legs and shouted: "Brother!" ”

Alin was suddenly embarrassed, his handsome face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "I am your mother's younger brother, not your younger brother!" ”

The little monkey didn't care about that, he grabbed Alin and didn't let go, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother, play with me!" ”

Su Lian saw it in his eyes, and he was embarrassed, how could this bear child recognize his "younger brother"? In front of the public, in the snowy land, Su Lian's face was a little hot, so he said: "It's cold outside, let's go inside!" ”

But although the little monkey was small, the strength in his hands was not small, Alin had no choice but to squat down, pick him up, and follow Su Curtain into the hall with a smoke.

The charcoal fire in the hall was scorching, and the hall was as warm as spring, and Su Curtain took off the Xuanhu Daqi on his body and handed it to Sixi to collect.

The little monkey is rarely accompanied by someone to play, and he is overjoyed, and his little hand pulls the peacock feathers on the red top of Alin, pulling it back and forth, which is very rare. Alin is now complaining, his hat is half crooked, revealing half of his bare head, which is quite funny!

Su Lian couldn't help laughing, asked Xiuping to move him a yellow pear pestle, and coaxed his son again: "Little monkey, don't mess with your uncle." ”

"Little monkey??" Alin was stunned, and hurriedly looked at the little brother who was clutching his clothes in his arms and refusing to let go, making awkward noise.

Su Lian pursed his lips and said, "That's his nickname!" Jumping up and down that naughty energy, isn't it just a monkey? He beckoned to his son and said, "Come to Eniang, I'll ask your aunt to bring Brother Baotai to play with you another day." ”

After getting Su Lai's promise, the little monkey was willing to get off Alin's body, ran back with his calves, and rubbed Su Lian twice coquettishly.

Su Lian gathered his son's little head and melon seeds, and then asked Alin, "What did you do to the imperial guard?" I didn't know it before! ”

Alin smiled shamefully: "There is a shortage of the Blue Feather guards in front of the Emperor, and I didn't dare to be delusional, but this sudden promotion, it must be for the sake of Sister Wansui." ”

Su Lian nodded secretly, thinking about it, although the Lan Ling guards are only the lowest rank among the imperial guards, but not everyone can deserve it, many clans and noble eunuchs have sharpened their heads and want to be it! People who don't have any family background, if they want to be a royal guard, they must at least be a martial artist, or even a martial champion. With the family background of the Ussuri clan who had just raised the flag, and half of Alin's idea of the martial arts people who were only admitted by chance, it was impossible to become a royal guard without special circumstances.

Zhang Qianlan, the chief eunuch on the side, bowed his body and said: "It is indeed the emperor's dictation that ordered the guards, and the Minister of the Interior Qi Erji personally handled it!" If it weren't for Niangniang saying before, she didn't want her mother's family to be too glorious, but I was afraid that Second Master Lin would have to be a third-class shrimp if she didn't say anything! ”

The third-class shrimp is the third-class guard, and the Lanling guard is the fourth-class. Su Lian said solemnly: "The Ussuri clan suddenly raised the flag, if even the official position is too high all of a sudden, it will inevitably climb high and fall heavily." ”

Ah Lin nodded again and again: "Sister A's intentions, I understand!" ”

Alin is shrewd, and when he enters the palace as a guard of Lan Ling, he must be able to swim around, and no matter how bad he is, he is also from a martial arts background, and his brother is known as Acton, who is known as a thousand catties and has made great contributions in the battle of the three feudatories, and with the care of the Minister of the Interior, he must be able to stand.

Su Lian secretly relieved himself and asked, "Is the eldest brother okay lately?" ”

Alin smiled and said, "Good! It's just that there are more and more people coming in to propose marriage, because Sister Ah asked Grandpa Ling to pass the word before, and Ama and I didn't dare to agree casually. ”

Su Lian smiled: "Are there any good people among them?" Tell me about it. ”

"Last time, Yi Cheng Wu Ya Yitai didn't agree to propose marriage for his eldest daughter, and a few days ago, his brother Zuo Zanshan Wu Ya Tuhai came to propose marriage again." Alin said in his mouth, but he looked very unwilling.

Su Lian couldn't help frowning and said, "Forget about the Wu Ya family." ”

Alin immediately smiled: "Big brother didn't look at that family either!" Who doesn't know that the wives and concubines of the Tuhai family are competing fiercely, and his daughter is a hot family! If my brother really married such a sister-in-law, our family would definitely not have a stable life! ”

After a few passes, Alin said again: "In addition, there is also the Liang family of the Han Army, who also carried the flag after making military achievements during the rebellion of the three feudatories, her brother and eldest brother met on the battlefield, and they also have a little bit of affection, and the eldest brother and Ama also have a little affection!" If Sister doesn't dislike it, it is the ...... of the Han Army Banner"

Su Lian smiled: "What Han army flag is full of military flags, it doesn't matter, our family used to be a cloth flag!" As long as the girl is good! This Miss Liang ...... What is the character and talent? ”

Alin said: "Although I have never seen people, but the Liang family is a famous scholarly family in Jinan Prefecture, and it is needless to say that the upbringing is naturally good...... said that she had only read women's training, and she was good at needlework, and she was a lady! ”

It is a traditional type of daughter of the Han family...... Su Lian lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and said, "Then is she bound to her feet?" ”

As soon as he asked if he had bound his feet, Ah Lin's eyes immediately lit up: "The girl of the Liang family is a three-inch golden lotus!" ”

Su Lian immediately frowned, although Han women in this era are bound feet, but they still can't help but hate this bad habit, but whether or not they bind their feet is not the decision of the lady herself, and she can't look down on others because of this, so she asked again: "What about her character?" ”

Alin smiled: "It must be possessed by three subordinates and four virtues, and his temperament is very gentle and smooth." ”

Su Lian couldn't help but shake his head: "You don't know who our Ama is, if you really marry a sister-in-law who is like soft dough, where can you stop her!" What our family lacks is a housewife, not a docile daughter-in-law! ”rp
